I am a PhD student in UNC's Department of Sociology and a Biosocial Trainee at the CPC. I study the structural determinants of health across the life course at the intersections of race/ethnicity, gender, and sexual minority status. I use a biosocial framework to show how exposure to structural oppression becomes embodied across the life course through chronic exposure to stress. My recent work considers the relationship between punishment, stress, and population health and mortality.
